According to Chapter 489, Florida Statutes, which classification of contractor license allows work on any building of any height with unlimited monetary value?
Correct Answer
C) Certified General Contractor
A Certified General Contractor license has no restrictions on building height or contract value, allowing work on any type of construction project in Florida.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
A Certified General Contractor license is the highest level of contractor license in Florida under Chapter 489. This license classification has no restrictions on building height, project complexity, or monetary value of contracts. It allows the holder to perform any type of construction work throughout the state, making it the most comprehensive contractor license available.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Specialty Contractor
A Certified Building Contractor license has restrictions on both building height and contract value. This license is limited to buildings of three stories or 40 feet in height, whichever is less, and has monetary limitations on contract values.
Option D: Registered Building Contractor
Specialty Contractor licenses are limited to specific trades or types of work (such as electrical, plumbing, roofing, etc.) and do not allow for general construction work. These licenses are restricted to the specific specialty area and cannot perform unlimited construction work.
Memory Technique
Think 'Certified GENERAL = GENERALLY unlimited' - the word 'General' implies broad, unrestricted authority over all types of construction work.
Reference Hint
Chapter 489, Florida Statutes - Section 489.105 for license classifications and their respective limitations
